Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to meet the minimum requirement of establishing eligibility under at least three regulatory criteria. While the AAO agreed with the Director that the petitioner met the criterion for judging the work of others and also found he met the criterion for authorship of scholarly articles, it determined he did not meet the criterion for a leading or critical role. The evidence did not show his role was leading or critical for the organization as a whole, but rather for a specific team or product line within a very large company.
